The Special Tribunal has granted the Special Investigating Unit leave to join five companies allegedly linked to former health minister Zweli Mkhize's family in its review application against the Digital Vibes contract.
The companies will now be added to a review application to declare the Digital Vibes contract unlawful, set aside and have the money paid back to the state. In a ruling, electronically delivered on Wednesday, judge Lebogang Modiba ruled that the SIU's allegations against five companies who allegedly benefited from the controversial Digital Vibes contract met the test for joinder.he applicant [SIU] shall file the amended pages of the notice of motion in the review application by Thursday April 21,” Modiba said in her judgment.
In the 24-page judgment, Modiba said the companies the SIU sought to join to the case presented to the SIU “inconsistent versions” regarding the payments they received stemming from funds from Digital Vibes.he SIU filed a joinder application before the Special Tribunal as it aims to recoup funds from six companies it alleged had unduly benefited from the contract. Only one of the companies, Azwakele Trading and Projects, was not joined in the review application.
The ruling comes a day after parliament’s ethics committee cleared Mkhize of contravening the MPs' code of ethics in relation to the Digital Vibes scandal.
It's actually disgusting to see the likes of Mkhize continuing to insult our intelligence, him and his equally rotten comrades
